The Freakin' 4$ Rule: We shop with usually an au pair in tow, and when dot keeps on badgering me to buy her new toys/school supplies at the mall,I instruct child-minder to buy 5 items totalling 4$. Impossible but truly possible.
Virtual CashCans: She should understand and be aware of the dough we are subtly stashing for her.
